Upgrading Motherboard

[IFeaRZz]

I'm looking to upgrade my motherboard as I don't particularly trust gigabyte since the people I know have all had issues of their boards frying themselves and taking their entire systems down with them.

I brought one for a months temporary measure.

That sounds like a psu issue over a motherboard issue. Unless you care about aestetics of the board the gigabyte one is as good as any other x99 board.

 

The corsair cx psu you have will fry your system faster then the motherboard will, those things will butn a house down especially if you are overclocking, I would highly recommend a psu upgrade over a motherboard upgrade.

How many people you know have said that gigabyte motherboards fry? And all the other parts of the system are going out, because of the power supply not the motherboard.

The PSU is being replaced with a Seasonic 1000 watt platinum this Friday.

My current build is a X99-SLI with a 5820K at 4.4GHz can get it to 5GHz but don't want the 80+ temps saving that for custom loop.
